Emphasis Of Karma Phala Tyaga

[Guest guest]

Divine Message of His Holiness Shri Datta Swami

 

 

The word karma in the case of a human being means the work done to earn money,

which is essential for his food and offering the food to the guest. Money

required for the self and his family is called ‘sareera yatra’ in Gita. Money

required to prepare food to offer to the guest is called ‘yajna karma’. The word

karma in Gita was used in these two meanings in the context of a human being

(sareera yatra pichate, yajnah karma samudbhavah). Therefore the fruit of the

work means only money.

 

 

The first mantra of the first Upanishad speaks about enjoyment and sacrifice

of money (kasyasvit dhanam). The mantra says that the entire creation is the

wealth of the Lord and one should store the money for his minimum enjoyment and

the rest should be sacrificed to the Lord who comes in the human form for His

mission to uplift this world. The second mantra says that one should

continuously work and earn. Vasista said that money is the root of all this

worldly family bonds (Dhanamulamidam jagat). When money is absent all the family

members will leave you. All the family members and relatives approach you only

due to money just like the frogs are present in the tank when it is full of

water.

 

 

The ‘Srichakram’ means the wheel that surrounds the money. Therefore when the

sacrifice of money comes into the picture, all the fraud devotees will run away

because in their hearts the attraction to the family bonds exists as solidified

darkness. Only the true devotees will stand, in whose hearts the darkness is

removed and the light of divine knowledge exists. The Lord came in human form

and tested ‘Saktuprasta’ in the sacrifice of the food, which is another form of

money. In draught he could secure a little flour and he was fasting for the past

ten days. He was not tested in any other way of words and mind (japa, parayana,

dhyana etc.). A real devotee will stand in this root test and this is the real

fire test.

 

 

If the bond with the money is cut, all the worldly bonds are cut, since money

is the root of this whole ‘samsara’. The fraud devotees want to escape this test

and therefore interpreted the ‘karmaphala’ as the fruit of prayers, japa,

parayana, dhyana etc. The eyes in this world not at all see such fruit.

Therefore such fruit of work done by words and mind is unreal. There is no

difficulty to sacrifice such unreal fruit. Therefore they misinterpreted the

‘karmaphalatyaga’ as leaving a spoon of water in the plate after doing such work

by words and mind. Some people have fooled the ignorant people by doing such

works and get the ‘Gurudakshina’. They are selling the unreal fruit for the real

money, by promising that the fruits of their sins will be removed and results of

good deeds, which were not done, will be attained.
